11. Strange things in the work group
Su Wu sat down against the wall and rested for a while.
Heavy fatigue was constantly rising in his body, and even the firelight in the temple only relieved him slightly.
And there seemed to be layers of wrinkles under the side where it was connected to the ghost hand.
Frowning, Su Wu struggled to open the zipper and saw that under the right armpit, the piece of skin connected to the ghost hand was loose, like the skin of an old man.
There are even abnormal dark spots emerging from the skin.
What's going on here?
——Will ghost hands cause my body function to decline and my vitality to be lost? !
Su Wu suddenly thought of a possibility. He looked at An Qing's dark arm and felt that every part of this arm was full of evil - using the Gangdong could have such serious consequences!
You must not use the Gangdong rashly in reality!
Next time you simulate, you must try to escape using only the Imperial Bell!
Time passed slowly, and the crimson light outside the temple lit up and went out, and then went out and lit up again. This was repeated several times. The length of time each time the crimson light lit up was uncertain, and the length of darkness and silence before the crimson light came on was also indefinite.
The shortest one lasts only a few breaths, the longest one lasts nearly ten minutes.
Taking advantage of this time, Su Wu propped up his body and first read through the contents of the notepad.
‘April 10th.
I had a feeling that something bad might happen, so I left the company directly and used this time to make some preparations. ’
‘April 11th.
I slept in until two o'clock in the afternoon.
Don’t rush the preparations, let’s talk about it tomorrow. ’
‘April 12th.
Fish all night and sleep during the day. ’
‘April 13th.
I slept in until noon, and after eating, I bought a map of Mingzhou City and a map of Huayang County.
The landlord had a quarrel with the couple upstairs and said that others were doing something in the house that caused mold spots on the walls. Is this a problem with his house?
I see mold is starting to grow in my house too. ’
…
Su Wu closed the notepad.
Even though I already own the simulator now, my future self has never mentioned this in my notes.
The simulator is the variable of the present, and the future is the result of the present.
The results can reflect the role of variables to a certain extent. For example, the future self begins to consciously purchase maps, notices changes in the room in advance, and makes preparations for bad premonitions.
But the result has been determined, and variables can no longer be used.
In addition to sleeping in, there is still a lot of useful information in the notepad.
The first is that mold has grown upstairs on the 13th. The landlord quarreled with the couple upstairs because of this, which shows that the area of mold upstairs must be very large.
Immediately following on the 14th, three murders occurred nearby.
My future self specifically inquired about the crime scene. Although the information was blocked to prevent people from panicking, I still got clues - several murders occurred in Unit 3.
The tenants of Unit 3 have since moved.
By the 15th, the couple upstairs died mysteriously and in a miserable manner.
At this time, the future self also got a message among the tenants, so he began to close the windows and cut off any light sources.
Putting the notebook back in his pocket, Su Wu recalled in his mind the contents of the notepad he saw when he entered the simulation game for the first time.
When I first entered the game, the recorded murder occurred on the 16th, and the young couple upstairs died suddenly and tragically on the 18th.
It can be seen that the shadow ghost appeared early this time.
Perhaps it was because his 'butterfly' flapped its wings that it appeared in advance.
Or maybe there is no fixed time for the appearance of the shadow ghost itself, and it may appear at any time within a period of time.
You need to check the notepad in time in subsequent simulations to determine whether the time when the shadow ghost appears is not fixed, or whether it is because you did something that caused it to appear early?
Su Wu kept this in mind, and then opened the social software on his phone.
First, click into the tenant group and search for news.
There was silence among the tenants at the moment, no one was chatting inside.
He swiped his finger downwards, skipped a few lines of group reminders, and saw a message in the group from a person whose profile picture was completely black and whose name was also a space: "Attention residents of each unit building in Ping'an Garden: Be sure to close the doors in the next few days. Doors and windows cover all light sources in the room.
Stay quietly at home and wait for help, we are already taking action.
Currently, there is an unknown substance transmitted by light that has filled the Ping An Garden. If you open a window to take in the light rashly and use various light sources, you will definitely be killed directly by the unknown substance!
Be sure to cut off any light sources, life is priceless! "
This passage has been authenticated by social software and marked with a blue frame, with several mosaic photos of corpses directly underneath.
Even with the mosaic, you can still see the tragedy of the scene and the horror of the dead body.
It was precisely because he saw this news in the group that he sealed the windows in the future and shut down all kinds of equipment to prevent anything that produced light from being retained.
Su Wu clicked on the personal page of the person with a dark portrait.
There is only a string of numbers ‘20280733’ in the introduction.
“Is this person a staff member of Mingzhou City fighting against strange forces?
Shadow Creatures kill people everywhere through shadows, but directly explaining to ordinary people that this is an "unknown substance that spreads through light" can eliminate people's panic.
At the same time, it can also make people feel afraid of "light" to the greatest extent. "
Su Wu did not get any clues from the introduction of this staff member, and then left the tenant group, and found that there were still people chatting in several other groups.
What caught his attention most was undoubtedly the work group of his former company.
He had left the work group directly, so when did he join it again?
With confusion flashing in his heart, he clicked into the work group.
Immediately saw that the former supervisor of the suit elite, 'Huang Zhicheng', whose avatar was the one, kept sending messages in the group: "Is anyone there?"
"Are they all dead?"
"Why didn't you come to work today?"
" @Wang Zhiyou, why didn't you come to work?"
" @Xiaonaofu, why didn't you come to work?"
" @Wang Zhiyou, why didn't you come to work? ”
…
‘Huang Zhicheng’ kept tagging group members, but no one responded to him.
Doesn’t this idiot know what’s happening in the city now? The colleagues he tagged might have already become headless corpses.
Su Wu frowned as he watched ‘Huang Zhicheng’ mechanically tagging every group member. Just as he was about to exit the group chat again, his former supervisor tagged him: “ @Young Master Eats Cakes, why didn’t you come to work?”
‘NMB, Sima, are you mentally ill?’
Su Wu sent out a set of three consecutive quality messages, hesitated for a moment, and didn’t click Send.
He suddenly felt that something was very strange happening in this work group.
However, this time ‘Huang Zhicheng’ seemed to be arguing with Su Wu. Seeing that he didn’t respond, he didn’t skip it directly like other group members, but continued to tag Su Wu.
“ @Young Master Eats Cakes, I’m asking you?”
“ @Young Master Eats Cakes, why didn’t you come to work?”
“ @Young Master Eats Cakes, why don’t you speak?”
“Speak!”
“Speak! "
"Do you think I can't find you if you don't speak--"
The last sentence turned into a line of crimson and twisted blood, which suddenly covered the entire screen of Su Wu's mobile phone!
